Script execution and image read via unsanitized profiles
Published Apr 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Stored XSS and path traversal in LDAP Account Manager before 7.9.1 allow remote authenticated users to execute scripts and read images. The profile editor renders saved field values without HTML escaping, while the PDF editor accepts logoFile values outside its enumerated logo list. LAM admin-interface access is required; another user must open the poisoned profile for script execution, while PDF export embeds an existing server-side image.
